Dimensions:Save
the Children has been operational in Kenya since the 1950s, providing support

In 2012, as part of a global
reorganization process, Save the Children combined the programmes of SC UK, SC
Canada and SC Finland to create a single operation in Kenya.

In Feb 2014, we completed a second
transition, which saw us join forces with the British INGO, Merlin, and merge
their health and nutrition programmes with our own.

Save the Children now has an
operational presence in Bungoma, Dadaab Refugee Camp, Garissa, Mandera, Turkana
and Wajir and we work through partners in many other parts of the country.

In 2016, Save the Children
established a new project office in Madagascar whose operations are managed by
the Kenya CO. In total, we employ around 250 staff in both countries and had an
operating annual budget in 2016 of approximately US$17.5million
